Case Study 1: Software Requirement Specification

Read the case study
titled “A Patient Information System for Mental Health Care”, located in Chapter
1 of your textbook.

Write a three to five
(3-5) page paper in which you:

Create a Software
Requirement Specification (SRS) that includes the following:

A detailed description
of both user and system requirements. At least four (4) user requirements and
four (4) system requirements should be provided.

A detailed description
of both functional and nonfunctional requirements. At least four (4) functional
requirements and four (4) nonfunctional requirements should be
provided.

A detailed requirement
specification written in structured natural language.

Structure and present
the requirements in a logical and consistent manner.

Develop a use case
diagram to summarize the functional requirements of the system through the use
of Microsoft Visio or its open source alternative, Dia. Note:
The graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page
length.

Your assignment must
follow these formatting requirements:

Be typed, double spaced,
using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides;
citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with
your professor for any additional instructions.

name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are
not included in the required assignment page length.

Include
charts or diagrams created in Visio or an equivalent such as Dia. The completed
diagrams / charts must be imported into the Word document before the paper is
submitted.

The specific course
learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

Analyze and describe
functional and nonfunctional requirements in software engineering.

Describe the key
components in requirements elicitation and analysis.

Use technology and
information resources to research issues in software engineering.
